Douglas Farah at The Counterterrorism Blog reports: “With the recent hostage-takings by armed militants in the Niger Delta, the disruption of key oil supplies, and the simmering religious tensions in the north where 17 people have been killed and 30 Christian churches burned, Nigeria is again teetering on the edge of chaos. About 20 percent of Nigeria’s oil production has been shut down, sending jitters through the market. More troubling is that fact that there is no end is sight or realistic solutions for the current crisis.”

And now the press reports, “Anti-Muslim riot in Nigeria turns deadly.” (Interestingly, when the original violence by Muslims against Christians broke out on Saturday, the AP did not run the headline “Anti-Christian riot in Nigeria turns deadly.”)

Judith Apter Klinghoffer writes: “Remember never again? Do you believe that only the victims of desease, famine and Western “imperialism” deserve your attention?”
